D1.1 Technical Blueprint for Vertical Use Cases and Validation Framework Page 3 of 85 Executive Summary FUDGE-5G is the first 5G-PPP project that focuses solely on 5G private networks, known as Non-Public Network (NPN) in 3GPP terminology. Five use cases for 5G-NPNs have been identified featuring diverse range of network and radio requirements, deployment, and configurations options, representing a very high innovation and business impact for the private 5G network market. The five use cases and their corresponding stakeholders are: • Concurrent Media Delivery – stakeholder NRK. • Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) – stakeholder Norwegian Defense Material Agency. • 5G Virtual Office – stakeholder Oslo University Hospital. • Industry 4.0 Network – stakeholder ABB. • Interconnected NPNs – stakeholders Telenor, Fraunhofer FOKUS and Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. The use cases target five vertical sectors encompassing Media & Entertainment (M&E), PPDR, eHealth, Industry 4.0, and education. It needs to be highlighted that 5G Virtual office will be realised in a hospital in Oslo, while the interconnected NPN use case will be realised by connecting several campuses, hence the mention of the eHealth and education, respectively, as typical concerned vertical sectors. Note that the same two use cases could be applied to different verticals. This document is a cornerstone for the project, since it describes the technical blueprint about how each use case will be implemented across the 5G-VINNI facility site managed by Telenor Research in Norway, including the specific deployment option of the FUDGE-5G Platform (e.g., public cloud, on premise, hybrid). The use case blueprints have been defined by considering the inputs from the vertical stakeholders. FUDGE-5G will follow a methodology structured in six steps to bring forward the innovative 5G key technologies and technology components. The methodology steps are: (i) Definition of Blueprints for the Use Cases, (ii) Technology Design, (iii) Agile Prototype Development, (iv) Platform Integration, (v) Deployment in 5G Infrastructure, and (vi) Product Validation in Real Environments. As well as describing the actual use cases, the document outlines the validation framework based on requirements and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) specific to the use cases. The architectural blueprint to realize the different use case will be documented in deliverable D1.2.

Introduction The use of 5G for private networks has seen an increased interest in industry and standardization alike with an expected increase of that market in the coming years [1]. This is also evident in the activities within the 3GPP (3rd Generation Public Partnership), which leads the standardization activities with respect to 5G in cellular telecommunications technologies, which positions the study of Non-Public Networks (NPNs) in the second phase of 5G networks (3GPP Rel-16 and beyond). Also, associations such as the 5G-ACIA have identified a number of NPN use cases [2]. A Non-Public Network enables deployment of 5G networks for non-public use. NPNs are physically or logically isolated from the public network by using different hardware, virtual machines or network slices. From this principle, a clear and immediate advantage arises from the isolation in terms of securing infrastructure and devices behind corporate networks. There may be two types of deployments: Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN), operated by an NPN operator and not relying on network functions provided by a PLMN, or a Public Network-Integrated NPN (PNI-NPN), an NPN deployed with the support of a PLMN. With the SNPN, the network is completely isolated from public networks, uses dedicated spectrum and all network functions are located inside the logical perimeter of the defined NPN operator premises. With the PNI-NPN, there are many options to how it can be provided. Services may be purchased as a virtual network application on a commercial PLMN or sharing the PLMN infrastructure as a closed/private sub-network, either under specific contract arrangements or as a preferential subscriber with suitable assigned priority. There is also the possibility of a hybrid solution for the PNI-NPN, where the NPN, owned and operated by a private institution, resides alongside a commercial PLMN, where, under negotiated contract arrangements, such a private institution gets preferential treatment with suitable assigned priority. Since NPNs are dedicated to private user groups, the network can be designed, optimised and dimensioned to the groups’ needs like coverage areas, network capabilities and mobility scenarios. Furthermore, the NPNs can be customized to serve different needs of enterprise and industrial verticals. For instance, it can be conceived to provide high availability and reliability, to support LAN-type services, to deliver stringent end-to-end synchronization for deterministic packet delivery or to fulfil high uplink and downlink minimal speeds. An NPN can also use dedicated spectrum (i.e., without any potential interference), in new bands beyond the designated ones for specific services (e.g., Programme-Making and Special Events (PMSE)).
